Shadows of the past,

Those times were a blast.



Shadows of the past,

you went by WAY too fast.



Shadows of the past,

I haven't seen you last.



With your grotesque beauty,

Your faces aren't a mystery to my

poor eyesight that have seen this world.



But what is it in this world that we want to see?

Some say greed, corrupt, memories, fantasies,

Love, wisdom, honor, courage, luxuries.



Shadows of the past,

As we put our heads to sleep,

You are within us deep,



And thus, Shadows of the past,

with you, we will never be released.
